a little improvment

As the day has moved along I think I am seeing some improvement. Jordans cough has become more productive, his heart rate has lowered a bit, he has not had a fever since this morning and he is taking many naps. He is still on 02 because his 02 level is lower than normal but there are periods of improvement with that as well. Sometimes things are touch & go. He will be better for a while then back to feeling real crummy. This last improvement period has lasted all afternoon & hopes are it will continue to head that way through the night. This is an illness which takes a while to get over, and things can be touch & go. He will be here atleast through Monday & possibly Tuesday. Of course, as the days go on we will know more.

I see periods of contentment & he is also playing his "Jordy Games" here now too. He shallows his breathing when a nurse or RT comes in so they wont hear his gurgles & suction him, he closes his eyes & pretends he is sleeping so no one will mess with him when they come in, when I came to the door I saw big blue eyes focused on that door, He's watching everyone & everything here. Hope to see more Jordy games tomorrow.
